Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
3X Rewards means you earn MJ$ at triple the normal rate: 30% back on regular-priced items (instead of the regular 10%) and 7.5% back on discounted items (instead of the regular 2.5%).
Promotional Moosejaw Reward Dollars cannot be earned on Gift Cards, Bikes, Cargo Boxes, Kayaks and Stand Up Paddleboards.
Additional exclusions may apply.

Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first.

Comfortable balanceThe balance of toughness and weight is perfect on these. I used to have Zamberlans when I was a hiking guide in AK and ever since those wore out I've been missing em! The last 10 years I've used either light mountaineering boots (mostly hunting) or trail runners (backpacking, hiking). These boots are so comfortable and the weight feels fine on the feet so I will be using these for just about everything now.
Be careful with sizing. I wear a 44.5 in La Sportiva, 11 in other shoes. Zamberlan's 45 fits perfectly, even though it is a 10.5 equivalent.

Biking. Easy to keep waterproof and requires virtually no break in period.

Beautifully Crafted BootsThe superb craftsmanship and design of the Zamberlan boots is reminiscent of the quality from Italian boot maker Scarpa two decades ago. This is an extraordinary boot, manufactured to a precise and uncompromising standard. The Zamberlan boot features the finest materials and attention to detail - characteristics which are virtually non existent in today’s world. The boot is a perfect synthesis of structure and comfort. Given the economic constraints dictating limited production lines and inventory control, it is remarkable to see a boot of this quality available in a range of half sizes and widths.
The Zamberlan is the antithesis of the mass produced boots from more well known brands in which production has been outsourced to low wage environments and both quality and manufacturing oversight sacrificed in favor of the bottom line. Bravo to Zamberlan and to Moosejaw for the continued commitment to quality.

nice features, but the boot has to fiti liked some features, but the boot has to fit. I need a wide to accommodate my custom orthotics. Although I ordered a wide, neither the shoe nor shoe box indicated it was a wide. Only Moosejaw paper indicated a wide and I'm suspicious that it really wasn't a wide.

Great findBeen wearing Vasque sundowners for 30 years. Since they were discontinued I needed a replacement. A little taller, but instant fit and comfort. Very happy.

Great, comfortable, supportive bootsI bought these boots for my dad's birthday and he absolutely loves them. They provided comfort and support right out of the box. I'm thinking about getting a pair for myself.

Zamberlan Vioz GTX BootGot my boots a month ago and have been using them for training hikes to get in shape for the mountains. Must say I was skeptical of ordering a half size smaller than I usually wear but the boots feel great right off the bat. I've probably got about 10 miles on them so far and they have been comfortable from the get go. Quality and workmanship is second to none.
Are these boots warm enough for cold Michigan winter's.
Asked by: Jeffrey
Hey Jeffrey,
Thanks for the question. These boots are not insulated, so we would not recommend them for extreme temperatures. For hiking in Michigan winters we would recommend insulated boots for the best warmth and performance.

Are these boots made In Italy like the others? They don't seem to have the flag on them. If not where are they made. Thanks
Asked by: Rick
Hey Rick!
These boots are indeed made in Italy. I will get our stock photo updated to reflect the tiny flag located above the "GORE-TEX" label. Thanks for the heads up, and hope this helps!

I wear special insoles, most boots I have to remove the original insoles to place in the insoles I need for my foot problem. Only 2 boots ever allowed me to put my insoles over the original, keep in mind I wear wide.
SO CAN I REMOVE THE ORGIAL INSOE
Asked by: Questions77
Hey there, thanks for your question.
The Zamberlan Men's 996 Vioz GTX Boots have removable 4mm insoles. If you have custom insoles you would be able to switch these out.
I hope this helps!

Hey Dave,
These boots measure 7.75" from the bottom of the sole to the top of the ankle or 6" from inside the boot. Hope this helps!

Hey there, thanks for your question.
The Zamberlan wide last is about equivalent to an EE.
I hope this helps!
